Todd Bowles: Don't glorify Sam Darnold after only one game

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Todd Bowles thinks everyone should slow down on Sam Darnold.

Bowles believes in Darnold and is confident he will continue to get better. But Bowles is not ready to anoint the rookie a superstar or induct him in Canton just yet.
